The Strange Bright Red Dragon Fruit

We found this dragon fruit on sale at one of Maui’s farmer’s markets. I had never seen, nor heard, of these before our Maui trip. Dragon fruit is a tropical fruit high in fiber and antioxidants. We thought is was closest in taste to a pear. I thought it was an acquired taste.

The Lurking, Watery, Nakalele Blowhole

This Nakalele blowhole is found along the Kahekili Highway along Maui’s North Shore. This image was captured at about halfway down the trail to the blowhole, which is quite steep and rugged. The people around the blowhole add a sense of scale. While not the biggest blowhole in the islands, the setting is among the best.

A Bend in the Honoapi’ilani Highway

I found this vista while driving along the Honoapi’ilani Highway along Maui’s north shore. This is a very scenic route from Lahaina to Kahului (at some point it turns into the Kahekili Highway). Be advised, it is a very crooked road, rough in some places, and takes quite a while to complete. But it is well worth the effort!
